Social Bookmarking

One of my sites I used was Arkivmusic which is a site to find and buy classical music recordings. "New Yorker" magazine (October 22,2007) had quite an article about the internet helping classical music. "The anonymity of Internet browsing has made classical music more accessible to non-fanatics; first time listeners can read reviews, compare audio samples and decide on, for example, a Beethoven recording by Wilhelm Furtwangler, all without risking the humiliation of mis-pronouncing the conductor's name under the sour gaze of a record clerk". The article went on to mention sites such as Amazon, iTunes and Arkivmusic.

Rambling thoughts

I am not sure how you can write 150 words about "43 Things I Might Want To Do This Year", but I did find it very interesting to read. And to think of 43 things I might want to do this year that did not involve cleaning out closets or planting more roses! The suggestions were great for what to do at the computer. The best part was that I have actually done some of those things.......like iTunes, Netflix, digital pictures. It was amazing that we try these things without realizing that we may be doing things that others may think are difficult. We think some of these things are difficult and once your wading boots are on........it is not so difficult after all.
